lowing clergympn were present In the

POINTS TO HOLY SPIRIT
Dr. Day Declares Resistance Be.
speaks Cowardice and Hate
At the First Congreg-ational church
last night the Rev. William Horace
Day gave the second sermon of the
series, "Seven Crises in Apostolic
Christianity." The text was Acts 6:7.
He said in part:
"Until the death of Stephen there
were no disciples who were not good
Jews. Could a man become a Chris
tian without the temple at Jerusalem
and without the law of Moses? That
had to be settled before this little
Jewish sect could begin its progress
as a world-conquering power. If its
field was to be broader than Judea and
, become imperial in ambition, neither
temple nor law could be essential to Its
life. Stephen, a man full of faith and
of the holy spirit, was given this work.
In the synagogue of the. Roman freed
man he preached these ideas and ar
gued from the scripture till they could
not gainsay him. In the Cicllian syn
agogue a young Pharisee, Saul of
Tarsus, tried to prove him wrong and
failed. They dragged him before the
court and twisted his statements into
distorted accusations.
"When we see such a work of grace
as is going on in this city today there
is also the sense of sorrow. Do not
resist the spirit longer. He Is, accord
ing to the scripture, seeking to make
known to. you the things of Christ.
In this account of Stephen's passing
■we see what it costs to resist the
spirit and what it profits to receive
him. Stephen, full of the holy spirit,
had courage, vision and love. Those
who have resisted the gracious in
fluence have cowardice, blindness and
liate."
PRAISES NEW RECTOR
Dr. Dowling Makes Important An.
nouncement to Congregation
Before delivering his sermon yester
day morning it Christ's church on
"Making the Best of Things," Rev. Dr.
George Thomas Dowling presented the
following announcement to his congre
gation:
"The selection of a rector In the
Episcopal communion is of even great
er importance than a cull to the pas
torate of any other church, because
among us, according to our canons,
such a call is extended for life, pro
vided the Incumbent desires to remain.
Therefore, realizing the responsibility
laid upon those of us who were ap
pointed as a committee to secure a
successor to your retiring rector, we
have felt the need of exercising the
greatest possible caution in order that
at this pivotal period no mistake should
be mad*. We have acted with careful
and prayerful deliberation.
"Among the many sources of Inform
ation of which this committee has
availed itself, Including bishops, edi
tors, priests and laymen within our
communion, and members of either
ihurches of other names, I rejoice to
state that there has been a marvelous
unanimity of opinion concerning the
unique fitness for this great work
which Is just opening up in Christ
parish in respect to spirituality, pop
ular ability and manly Christian char
acter of him whom the vestry has ex
tended a unanimous call to become our
rector, the Very ne'v. Baker P. Lee,
«Uun of the cathedral at Lexington,
Kjr. And It gives me greater pleasure
than I can express to you to be able
to state that this call so cordially ex
tended to him has been accepted in
a similar spirit by Mr. Lee, who will
be present in this chancel to assume
his duties as rector on April 30, the
first Sunday after Easter.
"And now I ask earnestly that, as
you have opened your hearts to
him who Is so soon to lay down his
active work .among you, you shall in
the same manner welcome with willing
THE RIGHT REV. J. H. JOHNSON OF LOS ANGELES
hands, and a glad loyalty, the one who
is about to become the spiritual guide
for you and for- your children during
the years which lie before us.
"Believe me, he is worthy of it. He
leaves a people who love him, and he
has deserved their love. Do not per
mit him to feel lonely or homesick
when he comes to you. And always
bear in mind that there can be no
nobler proof of your loyalty to his pre
decessor than that you shall give to
him from the very beginning of his
work your confidence, your co-opera
tion and your affection."
Dr. Dowling delivered a masterful
sermon, describing the battle of Tra
falgar and comparing the Instructions
of Admiral Nelson to his men with the
battle of every day life. He closed by
saying, "The church of Jesus Christ
expects every man to do his duty."

ner of his visit last week to the In
dians, where he went to dedicate a

evidence of want and starvation. He
closed his sermon by saying that there
will be a general collection taken up
in this diocese for the Indians next

evening for those employed during the

MANY CANDIDATES BAPTIZED
Impressive Services at Temple Bap.
tist Church
At the Temple Baptist church yester
day morning the service . was again
made beautiful and impressive by the
ordinance of baptism, the administra
tors being Pastor Robert J. | Burdette
and the Rev. T.G. Atterbury, pastor
of the Los Angeles Baptist Institu
tional church.' A number of candidates
were baptized Into the membership of
each church. The Itev. Dr. Burdette
preached a sermon on the text,, John
12:214: "We would see Jesus." He said
in part:
"It was and It Is the longing of the
world of men, consciously or uncon
sciously; it is a soul desire. Two thou
sand years ago, led by the shining of
the star, wile men came from the east
to kneel at his cradle. Thirty years
later, led by the longing for truth, a
longing so often disappointed by the
shallow guessing of human philoso

life with the Lori I . 'of Life left out of

intellectual thought they had re
mained at home. If scenes of imperial
grandeur and military power. and po
litical greatness attracted them they
had gone to Rome. ' If what they
sought was pleasure and gayety,' wlth

to Aritioeh. They came to Jerusalem,
they found a disciple and they said to
Philip, 'We would see Jesus.' •
"Save Jesus alone, there never has
been and there never will be a teacher

"In 1831 the great French statesman
and author, De Tocqueville, .was sent
by his government on a mission to the
United States. .He remained here a
year, studying closely our institutions
and Investigating the causes of our
prosperity and happiness as a people.
Returning home he made an official
report to the French senate. In the
course of which he said: 'I went at,
your bidding and passed along their
thoroughfares of trade. ' I ascended
their mountains and went down their
valleys. I visited their manufactories,
their commercial marts and their em
poriums of trade. I entered their
judicial courts and legislative halls, but
I sought everywhere in vain until I
entered the church. It was there, as I
listened to the soul equalizing arid soul
elevating principles of the gospel •of
Christ as it fell from Sabbath to Sab
bath upon the masses of the people;
that I learned why America -Is great
and free.' For • all that iis best and

man and the nation one seeks in vain

"INDORSER'S ENTRAPMENT"
Dr. Talmatje Points Out Sins of Busi-
ness World
In the First Presbyterian church yes
terday the Rev. Frank DeWltt Tal
mage preached, on the subject, "The
Indorsees Entrapment." His text was
Proverbs,' 6:1: ■ "My son, If thou be
surety for thy friends, thou art en
snared with the words of thy mouth."
Dr. Talmage said in part: ; 
"The lndorsers are Innocently caught

pointed cashier of some Institution. 'He
says he must have certain ' Indorsers
and down goes your name. Now, my
brother, it would be all. right for you
to sign there your name If you felt
you could afford to pay that' note if it
came back to you. 1 ;* But the trouble is,
most of us wlth.oiir present financial
struggles cannot afford to pay. There
fore, as soon as the notes fall due and
come back upon the' indorsers, they
begin to squirms and twist and try to
wriggle out of their financial difficul
ties. Sometimes by fair means, but
alas, often by foul, they seek to shirk
and repudiate their just debts of In
dorsements, even as some dishonest
men would clear off their debts by put
ting their money In their wives' names
and then going' into a bankruptcy
court for a clean financial' sheet.
"Is not' the picture true? Are you
not like the most of men? What would
you do if you j were asked to pay the
dishonest debts of your friends which
you Indorsed? Would you do it? Would
you do it even If you had indorsed
their notes and could find a loophole
to crawl out? Would you do It as did
Sir Walter ' Scott? Would, you do it,
even though- it cost you your life to
die an honest. man?,
"Another danger,. 'lurks over the in
dorser's trap. By going, upon a friend's
note a man may, be teaching his friend
to be careless, aye, • sinfully careless
with money. The ■ temporary financial
helps we give our brethren >by indorse
ments, or unjust', credit,' may be the
means of carrying them Into a position
where they, shall soon meet their tem
poral, as well as their spiritual deaths."
"THE TRUSTFUL LIFE"
Chaplain Kldder Delivers Eloquent
Sermon In Burbank Hall N
Chaplain Kldder of ; the Strangers'
Friend society apoke. in. Burbank hall
yesterday afternoon on "The Trustful
Life." He dwelt upon the fathoming
of trustfulness and the results to be
derived from' carrying out . its princi
ples. He said in part:
. ,"If I were .to ■ formulate a rule by
which happiness might be attained and
permanently enjoyed and put that rule
In one word,! should say 'trustfulness.'
"Measure the length and breadth,
sound the depths of the word and you
ha,ve compounded about all that is
worth having.
"Absolute happiness was never dis
tilled for a pot of gold. -It was never
locked in a banker's safe, never woven
into a wardrobe and never attained
from the shout of a multitude, but it
has dwelt within the chambers of
many a trustful soul.
"The trustful life dissipates worry
as surely as the mother's sympathy
dries the tears of her child. The birds
and the lilies, the Master says, never
worry.
"The trustful life Is not a fault
finding life. Life is ill spent that
grumbles at its lot, and the life is
worse than misspent that studies the
defects of others.
"The trustful life thinks the best
of others, delights in the successes of
others and always looks for good to
come from others' lives.
"The trustful life Is a very useful
one, not a lazy, careless life, but every
moment is like a hammer and every
opportunity a nail with . which the
building materials of life kre put to
gether in faith that plans of the archi
tect will not fall.
"The trustful life is the only victo
rious life, for it alone conquers the
difficulties and gives value to the mo
ments as they are given to us. What
will help the friendless stranger today,
the invalid stranger, the discouraged
stranger and the stranded stranger?
One thing, above all others, Is to trust
in God."
